    It’s been difficult to find manual transmisssions for a couple of decades here in the US. That ship has sailed.

    While most of my life I vowed my kids would learn manual, I gave up on that idea because

    • manual transmission cars are rare and disappearing
    • automatics now are more fuel efficient
    • CVT are reliable and even more efficient
    • EVs don’t shift

    My kids started driving in a world of automatics and will soon be in a world with no transmissions

        The Si and the R! They both sell like hotcakes, waited 8 months for my 2024 Si. I’m not sure why Honda doesn’t increase the volume, there’s still a lot of demand - maybe the margins aren’t as good as their SUVs :(

          Wow I had no idea, that’s crazy. I went with the 2024 sport touring because I do city driving 90% of the time, but that Si looked NICE
